Searching for Lovejoy

Recently discovered Comet Lovejoy is rising in the Northern sky now so I decided to head out and try to see it. Here, the clouds kept me from doing that for a week. Tonight was fairly clear so I found the darkest spot I could in Orlando and aimed towards the Pleiades cluster that I grew up calling the Seven Sisters. Just below it was a green fuzzy ball.

I had hoped it would be brighter, but... Still got it in the collection.
